A. Thiede et al., MIXED-SIGNAL INTEGRATED-CIRCUITS BASED ON GAAS HEMTS, IEEE transactions on very large scale integration (VLSI) systems, 6(1), 1998, pp. 6-17
During the past five gears numerous mixed signal integrated circuits (
IC's) have been designed, processed, and characterized based on our 0.
2 mu m gate length AlGaAs/GaAs quantum well HEMT technology, Utilizing
the inherent advantages of the AlGaAs/GaAs material system, optical,
analog, microwave, and digital functions have been integrated monolith
ically. Examples are a chip set for 30 Gb/s optoelectronic data transm
ission systems, 15 and 34 GHz PLL's, a 35 GHz phase shifter for phased
array antenna applications, a 2-kb ROM with subnanosecond access time
for direct digital signal synthesis, and a 6-k gate array.
